Do you still think it will be sold during Q4 2013, even Iphone 5S might come out Q2 ?
I instantly hope for bigger Screen around 4,7-5,0 inch……
Is there any reasonable hope for bigger screen as you write,or is it just an opinion ?

Hi Klaus. Yes, Apple is expected to launch iPhone 6 during Q4 of 2013. An internal source at Apple says that Apple is going to change its current strategy and will launch two iPhones in next financial year. In reference to the display size, I seriously don’t expect 5-inch display from Apple in near future. The Phablets are going mainstream in next few years and Apple will lose its subscribers if it doesn’t catch up with 1080p displays in near future.

So,do i get you wright,that you also recommend Apple to offer also a 4,7-5,0 inch Display,besides the standard 4,0 inch ?
Why do you think they dont offer till now? Those Phablets are selling well and i would think they would not loose money.Is it technally a disadvantage to produce two sizes or a softwareproblem for the Apps?

The biggest problem for Apple is the suppliers and production of large display panels. Software is not a big issue. It can be tweaked to suit the size. Apple will only enter into phablet market if it finds a big supplier who can produce large amount of displays in short space of time.
